Hogan and Snead . Were they self taught?

I have got the Hogan Vs Snead Shell's wonderful world of golf tape and have been looking at their swings. On Brady's Golf tips analysis of Goosen's swing he says Snead played a pull shot . Did Hogan and Snead have golf teachers or were they self taught? Thanks.

Hue and Mathew- Both Mr. Hogan and Mr. Snead would be under the classification of "self taught". Mr. Snead had a brother, Pete, who was an excellent player, PGA Professional and known as a fine teacher. Mr. Hogan was given advice on course management by Henry Picard (as well as the assurance of $$$, if and when he ever needed some). These two things, course management knowledge and the assurance that he could have money if he needed it, turned Mr. Hogan 'loose' to become the champion we all know. All the players of that era seemed to help each other out on the practice tee, since none of them were getting rich playing the game back then. Also, please keep in mind that "practice" as we know it today, really didn't exist until Mr. Hogan came along. Those boys used to warm up with a few shots before going to the 1st tee, and then having a few drinks and some card playing in the locker room after the round.

No, Hogan had already worked out the bad hook before the accident. Marvin Leonard was also the man who built Colonial Country Club. Picard was probably the biggest influence on Hogan, but Hogan pretty much worked his swing on his own. Snead said his older brother was a great player but had a bad temper. Said he almost cried one time because his brother got mad and brok the shafts on the golf clubs that they shared. Most of the guys like Hogan and Snead were too poor to afford a teacher anyway.
